[caylo]

Here is th list of players from the DT
http://www.news.com.au/dailytelegraph/files/contract players 2.pdf

players that I would look at:

Sika Manu
Shane Tronc
Alex Glen
Dave Taylor
Tom Learoyd-Larhrs
Matt White
Justin Poore
Dan Hunt
Ben Creigh
Jason Cayless
Greg Bird

 

[murraymob]

on the penrith list they have Brendon Worth problem is he is in France and not a penrith player so how accurate is the rest of the list

 

[Tin Man 4.24]

Not much good if we can't even supposedly afford to keep Tim Mannah.

I don't think it's that we can't afford to keep him, it's more of what he and his manager think he is worth.....

 

[parra-matters]

On that list I would chase Justin Poore and Dave Taylor.

 

[bartman]

I reckon Jason Cayless would be too soft these days.

been playing 40mins a game at St Helens in a four man prop rotation, money for jam in a dominant team. Spent a lot of last season injured. Not a good look for returning to do 60mins a game in NRL imo.

I used to want to see the Cayless brothers reunited at Parra a couple of years back. Given Nathan's salary quoted today, I think I'd happier seen them reunite elsewhere. Sad to lose a local junior after long service, but at that price you really have to be dominating week in week out to be worth it.

 

[bartman]

From that list, I'd be looking at:

Jeff Lima
Sika Manu
Dave Taylor
Tom Learoyd-Lars
Sia Soliola
Justin Poore

Sort out the forwards asap for 2010... worry about backs for 2011.

 

[oldmancraigy]

Jeff Lima
Sika Manu

350k for either (or both) of those 2.

If we only manage to get 1, then pay for Creagh (250K?) or Bird (not more than 300K)

If we don't manage to get either, then don't bother spending the cash at all - none of the rest of the list is worth massive money - could pay overs (at this stage) for Taylor, who will be a fantastic forward in a year or 2. But we've spent up big on "future talent" lately...

 

[Phillips]

I dont want Bird anywhere near this club.

 

[hineyrulz]

Anyone would be better than what we have ATM, our forwards are the worst in the comp.

 

[ROGUE]

Sika Manu

creagh knocked back an offer of 320 from manly 2-3 yrs ago

 

[Ron Jeremy]

i'd pay Creagh $375,000 a year, the guy is that good

 

[caylo]

Lima, Manu, Bailey and creight id offer $300-350 to and hope to be able to since atleast 2. Plus I have massive wraps on Va Ve and Spring (Titans Under 20), I would assume most are on year to year based contracts... talk to these guys, get one here. (althou Allgood and Te Whata had great games).

Glad we signed Allgood, with a good offseason he may be a year away from getting a start. (21 hitups and 170 odd meters is what we need for a prop)

 

[Eels Dude]

We need forwards rather than backs, and possibly a halve or 5'8th with first grade experience and are on the rise. From that list I'd be looking at Shane Shackleton, Sika Manu, Shane Tronc, Dave Taylor, Justin Poore, Ben Creagh. In the halves, the only player I'd consider is Ben Roberts as a 5'8th, and Grant Rovelli if we could pay him a basic wage.

And Jeff Lima is not off contract, he re-signed with Melbourne for 3 years last year after the Dogs were chasing him.

 

[Phillips]

Jason Cayless is injury prone, whens the last time he played a full season.

 

[Avenger]

We need a player like Greg Bird. I couldn't give a sh*t if he had recent problems. A player like him would transform our club and give us toughness.

I would also go for Morris, Creagh and Poore from the Dragons.

 

[Stagger eel]

I'll take whatever's available...seriously I would.

 

[Avenger]

I'll take whatever's available...seriously I would.

Buddy if we are fair dinkum and I mean fair dinkum we need to get someone like Bird to the club. He is tough and no nonsense. He actually plays alot like my favourite player of all time, the great Ray Price. Just look how much Cronulla are struggling without him.

 

[Stagger eel]

I wouldn't knock Bird back, but then again I wouldn't knock anyone back atm..:lol:

For all his talent Greg Bird is a massive grub and would probably spend more time suspended than actually playing.
